They do take a huge chunk of our hearts when they leave us, but at the same time, they remain in our hearts, forever.
The only thing I have found to ease the pain of Yorkie Loss is Yorkie Love. I am glad to hear you are considering adding another in the future, as I know then your heart will begin to heal... and from experience... the sooner the better. You've been a wonderful Yorkie Mommie to your babies, and I know there is another one out there that could greatly benefit from your love and caring.
There is never 'getting over the loss' of a beloved Yorkie, and only those who have a Yorkie in their lives understand that. It's too big of a concept for others to grasp. I feel sorry for those people, because knowing the love of a Yorkie is the absolute best thing in the world, and they are missing out on it. The pain of Yorkie loss is also the worst thing in the world, but it's worth it to have experienced the Love they share with us every day.
And they would never understand the physical pain we feel after a loss. I thought my heart was going to burst, I kept having chest pains everyday. My heart would not stop aching, and I felt as if there was a huge, gaping hole in my heart. And the crying... oh dear, I think I cried everyday for months, and thought I would lose my mind. I felt silly at times to be sooo upset, and no one understood what I was feeling... heck, I didn't even understand it. Finally, after two years of sadness, I decided to get another Yorkie, and so glad I did. The first thing I noticed was that I was smiling every morning when I saw that cute little face looking up at me, wondering what was in store for the day. That's when I realized I could never live a full life without a Yorkie in it... so I will never try that again.
Sorry for the book... and I hope you pain eases quickly. Bless you and praying for God to help you through... Hugs, Kathy |
Thank you, Kathy.
When Sydney died, I crawled into bed for two months. I couldn't do anything but cry, or sleep through the pain. And every Thursday for the 1st year, the depression began all over again. It was the 1st day she refused to eat. And I was in bed for 4 days.
Then, it finally went down to one weekend a month.
But I still break down over Sydney.
Kia was also grieving. She didn't remember a life without Sydney.
So, the two of us, clung to each other.
And now, I am back in that same deep, dark hole of depression.
You are so right, there is no "getting over" losing our Yorkies.
I still don't leave the house, except to go to the doctor or hospital for tests.
My MS progressed again, when my little Kia died.
I think, in time, I will find another little girl to love.
My heart, "beats Yorkie".
People say, "Dogs need us", but I believe, we need them.
Thank you for understanding, so well, what I am feeling, Kathy.
Hugs,
Sheila
